The Law Enforcement Technology Advancement Centre (LETAC) has developed SID version 6.7: a Sadistic, Intelligent, and Dangerous virtual reality entity which is synthesized from the personalities of more than 150 serial killers, and only one man can stop him.
Acting
Crowe's gleefully unhinged villain energy carries the whole thing.
Practical Effects
Gloriously janky mid-90s VR sequences that aged like milk.
Direction
Brett Leonard making 'Lawnmower Man' look restrained by comparison.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Russell Crowe reportedly based SID's voice and mannerisms on a mix of Axl Rose and his own nightmare-fuel imagination.
This film bombed hard but became a VHS cult favorite precisely because it arrived right before 'The Matrix' made this aesthetic cool instead of embarrassing.
